The sect master's heart softened a little. The fire spirit fruit was precious, but since Aunty Qing had said so, she couldn't go against her. After all, Aunty Qing was the one who had raised her, and while they weren't mother and daughter, they were closer than mother and daughter!
The sect master knew that Aunt Qing was giving her face, which was why she was negotiating with her. Otherwise, with Aunt Qing's status in the elder council, even if she gave the fruit away, the elder wouldn't be able to stop her.
Since Aunt Qing was doing this, how could the sect master not give her face?
But she didn't know Ling Yi, and towards a stranger, the sect master subconsciously chose not to trust him! Plus, Ling Yi's strength was far too weak in her eyes, too minuscule. He was only a little bit stronger than a mortal, so the sect master's promise to Ling Yi was just a joke!
A lone cultivator finding a pill refiner? Since when did pill refiners become such a worthless profession? If he were to say that he was from an ancient sect, it would be more believable for him to be able to find an alchemist!
"I'm not sure about that, but it looks like it's the case. He's been carrying his girlfriend the entire time, and that's enough to convince me that he's telling the truth!" Qing said.
"Since he's loyal, then tell him to stand at the door- if he can stand there for half a month without eating, drinking, or sleeping, then I'll believe him!" The sect master said. "If not, then ask him to leave!"
"Half a month …" A bitter smile appeared on Qing's face. "Palace Mistress, it's not a problem for a Mystic to not eat or sleep for three days. But half a month … isn't that a bit too much? Although the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in our Ice Spirit Mountain is rich, even if he cultivates all the time, the True Qi brought by cultivation will not be enough for his body's daily energy consumption … "
"Aunt Qing, I'm just testing him. What if a random person comes and says that he wants to save his girlfriend? If you're kind enough, our entire Ice Palace won't be enough to give away!" It was rare for the sect master to crack a joke in front of Qing, "When he faints, you can go wake him up!"
"That's … fine!" Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Seeing Elder Qing appear in front of him, Lin Yi's heart finally relaxed. It seemed like the Ice Palace couldn't turn a blind eye after all!
"Ling Yi, why haven't you left yet?" Little Qing's figure floated over, and when she saw Ling Yi, she asked indifferently.
"Elder Qing did not agree to my request, so I can only wait here! The Fire Spirit's Fruit is very important to my girlfriend, I don't want to lose this opportunity. "Lin Yi said respectfully.
"Alright, since you treat this as an opportunity, then I will fulfill your wish!" Little Qing nodded and said solemnly.
"Please speak, Senior!" Lin Yi thought that Elder Qing would be the same as before and leave after a few sentences. He didn't think that she would agree! So while Lin Yi was overjoyed, he started addressing Elder Qing as' Senior '!
Of course, whether it was in terms of strength or age, Lin Yi calling her Senior wasn't an exaggeration!
"You said that you want the Fire Spirit's Fruit to cure your girlfriend's illness, and that as long as I give it to you, you'll pay any price. Is that right?" Qing asked.
"Yes, Senior!" Lin Yi said without hesitation.
"Alright, then you can stand here. I'll come back in fifteen days. If you're still here, then I can see your sincerity. I'll give you a chance to convince the sect master!" Little Qing couldn't show much in front of Lin Yi, so she spoke in a cold and formal manner.
"Alright!" Lin Yi nodded.
"Remember, you have to stand here, you can't rest!" Qing said, "If you can't do it, then leave the mountain!"
"I can do it!" Lin Yi said straightforwardly.
Qing nodded and didn't say anything else. She turned around and left.
Lin Yi's heart was filled with excitement and happiness- he knew that this was Elder Qing's hard work. She didn't say it, but Lin Yi could feel it! He could only keep his feelings for Elder Qing in his heart, with a tacit understanding between them.
But, to stand here for half a month without resting or leaving, this made Lin Yi want to laugh and cry! If the person standing here wasn't Lin Yi, but another Mystic class master, then they'd probably be dead in half a month, right?
Elder Qing didn't say that they couldn't eat or drink, but if they couldn't leave, then where would they go to eat? Who would bring a bunch of food with them for no reason? Every participant knew that the test lasted for three days, and so they only brought some energy replenishment elixirs, but not too much- half a month was definitely not enough!
Fortunately, Lin Yi had the jade space, and he could go in and replenish his energy whenever he wanted. Half a month wasn't a problem at all!
Qing returned to the sect master's room and replied, "Sect Master, he agreed!"
"Alright, we'll wait for him to back off." The sect master nodded, her expression returning to her usual calmness. There were other people from the Ice Palace in the room, and so the sect master had to act like a sect master!
… …
Lingshan brought Wangli, Wang Hejian, and the others to Jiajia Town and saw the two victims, as well as the police's statements.
From these things alone, it could be confirmed that the criminal suspect was the same person as the previous cases. However, there was still no detailed conclusion about the criminal suspect's facial features. This time, the criminal suspect also had no facial features!
Lingshan asked the father and son in the hospital in detail, but didn't get any useful information.
"What did the other witnesses say?" Lingshan couldn't find any useful clues on the two victims, and so she turned her attention to the witness.
